We put all our efforts into great designs and comfort, all our sofas are made with Wade Coil springs and hardwood frames. Each piece of our handmade furniture that leaves our factory is made individually for you.

We source as many components from local and sustainable sources as possible. The wood for the frames is from the UK (from sustainable sources). The fillings for the cushions are made in Long Eaton. The Coil seat springs are made in Long Eaton. Most of the parts are made or supplied by British companies, which are good for the planet and good for the economy. We are a UK sofa manufacture your sofa will be made in Long Eaton recognised as a centre of excellence in the furniture industry.

Customer Reviews

Peter & Sheila Roughton (11th December 2017)"Uninspired by lack of choice, quality and value for money from high street retailers and department stores, the Internet persuaded us a trip to Long Eaton might be worthwhile. So pleased we did as the service afforded by Taz and his team was first class. From a picture we provided from a magazine, we had made a snuggler and a sofa in matching fabrics. At a cost no higher than we could have paid on the high street, we have two beautiful and unique pieces of furniture that we are absolutely delighted with. We would recommend anyone looking for quality and service and unable to find it on the high street, make the trip to The Designer Sofa at Long Eaton."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"A lot of people cannot find what they want on the high street and when they do the quality is not high enough. Smart shoppers like you think outside the box and think there must be more than the High Street and brands you see on the TV. This is where the designer sofa comes in, we can cater for your every need whether you want a really large sofa or small sofa, it's no problem for us. The looks of your sofa are important too, you can design your own sofa round the looks and quality that suits you.
Thank You
Ian"

Lynda Leslie (5th March 2020)"We found this fabulous company on line while looking for something else, and what a find!
We rang and enquiring about getting new sponges for couch and chair, Taz explained they could do them just put the covers in the post, we will do the sponge for you and deliver them as he didn’t like to use a courier!
We were not disappointed the cushions are amazing and are really comfy.
Thank you so much everyone involved!"

Anne Bolton (28th March 2019)"The people at designer sofa are exceptional with their care and expertise but it is the quality their workmanship that is absolute first class. From the carpenter who makes the beech thro to the lady who cuts the material the upholsterers and machinist are all the top in their trade so you are going to have the most comfortable sofas that last. Mine was made exactlty as i asked, am i happy with them, you bet i am."

Adam Henson (26th August 2019)"We are so happy with our new sofa’s. From the start we were very happy with the customer service and the way Ian explained everything to us. Ian helped us design our sofa’s and even came to our house to confirm measurements.
The sofa’s were made and delivered much quicker than anticipated and they fit perfectly. When we went to see them in the showroom before delivery, it was really nice to meet everyone involved in building them.
A quality product, that I am sure will be with us for many many years."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Some people ask why we get so many 5 star reviews, this question is very simple to answer. Look at this review above, our customer service is 5 star and our product is second to none in the whole country and our customer judge it to be 5 stars, not us. Come and see and be part of The Designer Sofa family and we will look after you for many years to come. Ian and the Team"

Emma & Graeme Mascall (23rd October 2018)"We cannot thank you enough for our gorgeous new sofas. After 15 years we decided to change to our dream sofa, a chesterfield. With your expert advice we were able to work out what we wanted from fabric and colour to size. Even better you carried out a measuring service which was for us invaluable. It took all the stress out of the process for us. It was even not too much trouble to hold the sofas for us for a couple of weeks because of a delay with a new floor. Delivery was a breeze and at no time did we have to worry about any little detail because of the quality of both the service and workmanship. We have and continue to recommend you and will certainly be back again for other rooms. A special mention to Ian who went above and beyond and was very patient answering all our questions."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you for giving your opinion on The Designer Sofa. I must admit I did enjoy coming over to Royal Leamington Spa to do the home service you required. After we had done all the measuring and looked at fabric samples, I went to have a look around Leamington and fell in love with it and have been back with the family four times since, if it were not for you I would not have found out how beautiful it was around your hometown.
We always put customers first, and of cause quality, many companies don't bother about quality and the customer when things go wrong. As you know, we have balances and check throughout the design process and when your work is finished, we invite you to the factory to examine your work before you pay the balance. Nothing ever leaves the factory unless"

Ann Fred Hussey (5th May 2018)"Dear Taz and Ian
Many thanks for the exceptional customer service we have had since having our suite reupholstered with your company.
We have been very pleased with the finished result and the high standard of workmanship involved.
All of your team have done a great job. Even returning our suite the boys managed to manoeuvre the suite back into position with no mishaps.
We would not hesitate to recommend your company to other people.
Once again many thanks yours sincerely. Ann & Fred Hussy"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Hi Anne and Fred
Thank you very much for your feedback much appreciated. We are very proud of our customer services and the quality we produce for every customer.
We think there is only one way to do a job and that is the right way, much of the work we do on re-upholstery it's better when we have finished it than the job was originally when first purchased.
You can be reassured we are going to do with the first class job for you because when the work is finished we invite you down to have a look at it, and examine it before you pay your balance and we deliver it back out to you.
Ian & the Team"

Pam Young (25th January 2018)"Thanks for restoring areas of our ten year old Tetrad sofas destroyed by our cats! They now look like new. The cats have also had their claws clipped! We are very pleased with your work."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Thank you Pam, for the feedback, yes good idea to have the cat's claws clipped as your sofas look so good now.
Ian & the Team"

K Henderson (4th July 2019)"Much beloved Parker and Farr sofas reunited with their former glory and more! Needed one sofa making smaller to fit our new home, was very nervous about doing it but the result is amazing!"

Response from The Designer Sofa

"We are the experts when it comes to reupholstering your sofas and chairs. When we restore your furniture we will only use the same parts as we use in our new furniture, that is why the quality is so high and you will be so happy. When we have finished your work we don't throw it back into your lounge like some companies and then disappear. If you are having new or reupholstery from The Designer Sofa we always invite you to the factory to inspect the quality and make sure you are happy with the work before it leaves the factory and you pay your balance. That is the reason why we get so many 5 star reviews, only happy customers take delivery of our work. Ian"

L McDonagh (6th July 2019)"Excellent service and experience throughout. I went to the designer sofa because I'd seen several pieces of furniture online I thought were almost perfect but never something that ticked all my boxes. So I went in and showed them some pictures and from there it was all about getting the perfect chair.
I was shown the hundreds of fabrics to choose from that meet my needs in colour and resiliance, and shown and got to test the various types of cushions/fillings to decide what was most suitable for me. And then I got the opportunity to sit in a chair and ask for things like "this chair but with a deeper cushion", "the arms need to be 3 inches higher", "the back needs to be wider". Right down to the bespoke level.
I was explained the types of wood used to build the frame is hardwood and not a single creak in it. And what's better is if I ever get fed up of the fabric, I can come back and get it reupholstered, because I feel I've got a chair that's actually going to last me a lifetime as opposed to a store brought from even the most highest quality of high street stores.
I'm absolutely in love with the armchair and will definitely be going back in the future for a sofa."

Response from The Designer Sofa

"Once you have had a sofa from The Designer Sofa you will come back for more, we believe a customer is for life and not just for that sale, we will always be here to help you. This is also the reason we get so many recommendations, and people sent their family and friend to be looked after by our friendly team. Distance is not a problem we cover the whole country."

Doreen and Roy (2nd June 2016)"We are sending as promised some pictures of our `new` 3 piece suite. It is hard to believe that this is our old one re-built! You have done an absolutely marvellous job – we are delighted.
Friends who have seen it so far can`t believe what a magnificent job you have carried out and you have been such a friendly firm to deal with.
Needless to say we shall certainly recommend The Designer Sofa to anyone who wants a new suite."
